The Leaping Angels

How would you stop a group of teenagers from leaping from a hotel balcony to another? That's Lizzie and Danny's next mission – the group test. With graduate, Alex, they use their persuasion skills, memories and concentration on getting to the hotel where the teenagers are. They lose Alex in a dark tunnel, transporting to the hotel. But with concentration and focus on where they have to be, they get him to find them again. Then when they do reach the hotel where the boys are, it's to find that their enemy, the Dark Angel, has got there first. For during their memory challenge, it starts to go wrong. The teens leap faster and faster from one balcony to another until one boy falls. With 'what if' scenarios and flashbacks, Danny persuades the leader to stop his gang. But then a rival gang arrives. It's now Lizzie turn to prevent them from doing the same. With memories of her death and what just happened, she persuades them to leave, but the Enemy pushes one of the boys to fall. Alex flies to the rescue, and using transportation skills on other boys, he makes them land on bushes and hedges on the ground. But both boys are hurt, one of them going into a coma. Two groups saved in one day. They have passed their group test.

She is told that if she wants to get through the gates to find eternal happiness, she is going to have to prove her worth. There are hidden gems among her young relations, who have lost their sparkle. It is up to Geraldine to find out these jewels and bring them the joy and happiness that will make them shine.

The Quest

Delta is a self-centred mermaid. Always thinking of herself and not of others, especially her parents.
Then when she reaches her 16th birthday, she finally gets her adult tail, but it is only pale green not emerald. She is handed a present but it comes with one condition. She has to find her soulmate and prove she’s worthy of him within a week, or it will stay pale and she will lose it. Not wanting to lose the tail she’s yearned for, Delta is determined to keep it, no matter what.
On her journey to find her soulmate, she encounters Zane, the vain merman, who is even more vain than she is; Evan the slobbish merman, who leaves his home a mess and expects her to clean it for him; a flash merman much like Zane, then Finlay the useless merman, who can’t keep up hard work as much as she can. In turn, the faults she sees in them, she sees in herself and starts to rectify her behaviour.
Delta is now upset and desperate, as her tail has begun to disappear. Not wanting to fail ‘The Quest’ Delta discovers that the answer is closer to home than she thought. She meets Jonty, the merman –next-door. Watching him, she realises how self-centred she has been, and when she has to help him, that attitude is tested. Delta discovers her true self, and finds love and her soulmate, and gets to keep her tail, which glows emerald.

On the fourth day, she meets Mr Paranoid, and it makes her realise that some of the mermen's faults are hers, too. When this dawns on her, she gets to see a shadow of what her soul mate looks like. She decides to start to change he ways and feels her hair beginning to grow again.

It's the final day of the quest. She meets Mr Liar, and realises that she has lied to all the mermen she has met, only to get away from them. So when she finally meets her love, Logan, she tells him the truth about her and is a better mermaid as she helps him with his rescuing job. Her hair has grown back to its long and shiny length once more, but Krysta now knows that there's more to life than thinking about her hair – her love and a career.
